jounce bumpers are supposed to provide a soft stop for up travel. hitting hockey pucks against metal will give you a very jarring ride.

you want your bump stops to either limit your up travel to the point right before your shocks bottom out or before your tire eats a fender. whatever comes first. but definitely need them if you want your shocks to last. you can blow them out on the highway with no bumpstops.
